German Potato Salad is a traditional side dish that is often served at picnics, barbecues, and other outdoor events. Unlike the American version, which is usually made with a sweet and sour dressing, the German version is made with a tangy dressing that includes mustard and vinegar. Ann's German Potato Salad is a delicious twist on the traditional recipe, with the addition of bacon and pickles for a salty, savory flavor.

Instructions

1.	Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender.
2.	Drain and let cool slightly, then peel and slice into thin rounds.
3.	In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, and seasoning.
4.	Stir in the sliced potatoes until coated with the dressing.
5.	Chop the pickles and bacon into small pieces and mix into the salad.
6.	Chill until ready to serve.
